My TeemTrubble build frame #11
btw the engine just fit into the motor mounts perfect, a little friction but no resistance and the bolts slid thru like butta.
found out my 250X suspension won't work without a little effort (as i suspected). I will need a 250f or X front brake caliper (bolt spacing different on the fork) and the shock is about 3/8" longer (showa vs kayaba) so I may need the 250f linkage or parts of it.

yota, I have a couple questions... first off whts with the suspension? you keep talking about x vs r, but that frame is obviously a gen-3... gen-3 has a different shock that gen-4, the fork can interchange, but not the shock.
looking at your pics of all the parts, I see everything there except exhaust, I thought you ordered a PC exhaust from Mike too??

the stock suspension is kayaba, I have 06 250X forks and shock (showa). I need to get a 250f brake caliper if I want to use the X fork and I think the X shock can be made to work with 250f linkage. The showa shock is a little bigger diameter which is no issue as I ground a scallop out of the rear of the motor like Bob did in his build thread. The problem is that the X shock is almost 1/2" longer and the bottom shackle or whatever its called rubs the linkage just opposite the rebound adjuster. looking at photos on ebay the X link looks a little shorter which would angle the shock a little more to clear. I have installed the stock kayaba stuff temporarily.
as to the pipe I am still missing a couple of things that will prevent me from finishing.

ah no big deal, at least the bike is here so I can proceed with my work, plenty to do. Mike called me this morning, one item has shipped with a monday delivery date, he is checking on the pipe and silencer. that would be everything. I am still enthusiastic, can't wait to get home tonight and get on it.
